31 Days Of Blogging Honesty

Once again I have come up with an idea that encourages participation between you and other bloggers. This is not a meme in the strict sense of the meaning but I would love for people to try to get more and more people involved and taking part in this. I would say it’s more of a fellowship. I visited a blog for First Class Blogger Award and she was posting on 30 days of honesty. I didn’t particularly like all those questions so once again I came up with my own.

So now you know where I got the idea for this. If you would like to take part just leave a comment below. Because it involves complete and total honesty there may be many who choose to refrain. If you decide to take part in this I would advise you to answer at least two questions a week. Taking part in 31 Days of Blogging Honesty means an entire month of posting will be finished and you can begin working on the next month’s posts early.

There are rules again. You must answer 31 questions, however you can choose one of the questions, if you want and decline to answer it. Just one! If you decide to not answer a question you must answer the alternative question in its place. You must make mention on that day that you are skipping and replacing the scheduled question with your alternative.

If your blog, like mine, has scheduled series on a particular day, please skip the 31 Days of Blogging Honesty in order to keep with your blog’s regular schedule. On the first Saturday of every month I have a guest blogger which means I will continue with my guest post and post the next answer after it. For me, that means I won’t be finished my 31 days until June 3rd, if I calculated correctly. The only other rule is that you must use the above 31 Days Of Blogging Honesty graphic each day you post.

The month for posting the answers to the questions is May. That means you have close to four full months to prepare the thirty one posts. If you decide to take part, why not answer your first question today to get started!

Objective: To answer a question each day, in complete honesty.

Alternative question: You yourself must think of a question and answer it.

Remember, your responses to these questions will be published on your site as a post. One word answers or even just a single sentence will leave your readers flat with really nothing to comment on. Let me know what you think…

This is truly a neat way of interacting with your readers! I’m so sorry I came back into blogging just now. I do hope everyone who participated herein are having fun answering and blogging those questions.

You know I try! I will most likely do something like this again. I love being interactive with my blogging buddies. It might be the only chance we have of doing things together — unless we ever meet. I’m glad you dropped in and keep blogging.

I like this idea but since I am a bit late for the party I will instead consider it for next months 30 days. I will look at your questions and probably come up with a list of my own. I’ll later post the site I will do it on. Thanks fo this interesting idea.

It’s never too late. You can start tomorrow! The reason I posted it several months ago is so people wanting to participate can do so and complete each day in advance. I have nothing to do for May. Each post is already done. Please do participate and answer several questions each day and then schedule them. Before you know it you will have a whole month of posts done in just a few days! Hope you join in.

I think it great that you can keep the good time rolling on your blog and others’. I’ll certainly tell everyone I know about this one.
I’ve created an editorial calendar for 2011 in order to make sure I stay focused on software development, while not losing too much momentum on my blog. This would conflict with your May schedule.

Cherlyn, I don’t know what happened. I promise you I did not delete anyone’s comment today. In fact I’m headed out the door. I only have time to comment on this. I hope what happened to me before when I thought I hit the comment button after writing one, only I forgot to do it, didn’t happen to you! I will respond to your email later tonight too.

Just thought I thought it was a great idea, that I’ll probably do it, and that it was funny because in the email I sent you before I read this post had an idea that was somewhat similar to this in it lol

Ok, this sounds interesting but a few things I don’t understand. First, I take it that we’re saving these as drafts? Or how does it work? Second, I’m already postadaying and I don’t know if I’m being too ambitious adding to this, although the format on this and the questions are enticing. I run a postaday blog that these can appear on but also a poetry blog that i’d prefer not to have clogged by my endless musings! Ok, let me know, thanks!

You can either save them as drafts or like me, just schedule them for each day in May. Does your postaday blog have a special theme for each day or can you just incorporate these questions to it in May? I wouldn’t want to interrupt my poetry blog with something other than poetry either. Let me know if you have more questions.

I’ve read your comment on my poem: “IF I WERE…” and yes you can feature my poem in your August/September issue of Poetic License series. My apology for having a late response with regard this matter. Actually, your comment didn’t show up on my comment lists awaiting moderation. It was only now that I’ve noticed that your comment was included on my spammed lists. Anyhow, I appreciate your kindness and generosity for taking time reading my poems. Thank you so much. I would love to read your feedback via mail. E-mail me here: windowlad@gmail.com I’ll send your the copy of my poem. I put a javascript code on my blog disabling anyone from highlighting texts so you won’t be able to copy it. Thank you and good day!!!
